RE: ARB-2021-96: Umansky Subaru - Final (TMP: 04500-00-00-068D4)

The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Tuesday,
September 7, 2021. The Board voted to grant approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness, subject to the
following conditions:
Revise the lighting plan to show illumination levels only for new fixtures. Add a note clearly stating
that no changes to existing site lighting are proposed and site lighting remains as was approved
with SDP-2003-67.
Revise the landscape plan to provide the previously approved row of shrubs along the parking area
adjacent to Rt. 29, and along the parking area adjacent to Hilton Heights Road.
Revise the landscape plan to provide two large shade trees east and west of the existing tree
labeled "61-101-30".
Correct the proposed planting height of the arborvitae in the plant schedule. (Change inches to
feet.)
Consider revising the landscape plan to show shrubs along the eastern side of the building
consistent with the character of the previously approved plan.
Sign applications are required for all proposed signs. Note that if internally illuminated, the
backgrounds of the Subaru "Star Cluster" logos must be opaque.
Please note the following:
1. Any changes in the approved design will require a new application and additional review.
2. Changes made to the site or architectural plans after issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness can
delay the signing of final site plans and the approval of building permits. It is in the applicant's best
interest to notify ARB staff of such changes and to initiate the review of amendments to ARB-approved
plans to avoid future delays.
3. Certificates of Appropriateness are valid for the same period that the corresponding site plan is valid. If
there is no site plan required for the proposed work, the Certificate of Appropriateness is valid for 3
years. Applicants requesting an extension of the period of validity must do so in writing. The letter must
be received by the Director of Planning prior to the expiration date.
